MacKenzie Peyton has won a lot of golf tournaments in her high school career but two, the regional and state championships, have eluded her. Peyton can reduce her wish list to just one item after winning the Region Five golf championship in a one-hole playoff with Maddie Hamilton of Sacred Heart on Sept. 29 at Midland Trail Golf Course in Louisville.

The Henry County Wildcats’ soccer team hosted the Carroll County Panthers Sept. 30 in the final regular season district matchup of the season. With the teams playing to a 1-1 draw that was decided on penalty kicks after overtime just a few nights before, the game promised to be an exciting matchup between the district’s two top teams.

For 60 minutes it was just that as the Panthers got a lone goal midway through the first half in a game that was tight until then.

The Eminence Warriors hosted the Trimble County Raiders on homecoming night Friday night hoping to get their first win of the season, but it was not to be as the Raiders scored 28 first half points to put the game away early.

The first quarter was played fairly evenly as Eminence took the opening kick and got a big 17-yard run from Cameron Mathis on second and 14. A Raider defender was called for a 15-yard face mask penalty to put the Warriors in Trimble territory at the 44-yard line.

The Henry County Lady Cats dropped three matches last week culminating with an upset by Gallatin County. The loss to the Lady Wildcats left Henry County with a 4-4 record and the third seed in the district tournament.

The Lady Cats started the week with a 3-1 loss at Carroll County Sept. 30. The following night they lost to Collins 2-0 in what coach Katie Ruff felt was the team’s best performance of the week and then returned home for a disappointing 3-2 loss to Gallatin County.

The Henry County Wildcat golf team traveled to Nevel Meade Golf Course Sept. 30 to compete in the Region 6 golf tournament.

Alex Hadden led the way for the Wildcats with a nine-over 81. Isaac Klempner shot 87, Dustin Love shot 100, Jakob Beckley shot 105 and Adam Kent shot 110, but did not figure in the team scoring. The Cats had a total score of 373 to finish 15th in the field of 16 teams.

St. Xavier finished first with an impressive 12-under score of 276. Trinity finished second with a six-over 294.

The young Eminence Warrior football team continues to find the going tough this season after they traveled to Louisville Friday night to take on the Kentucky Country Day Bearcats and came away with their biggest loss of the season.

The Warriors held tough in the first quarter allowing the Bearcats only one touchdown on a 20-yard pass play with 8:32 to go.

The Henry County Wildcat soccer team hosted the Owen County Rebels on Sept. 23 in an important district matchup. The Wildcats got off to a fast start and cruised to a 4-2 win.

Gavin Jameson showed off a variety of skills in the early going as he dribbled around players, outran defenders and used his height to win headers but he couldn’t get the elusive first goal in the opening 15 minutes.

Jameson had five shots, three of which were on goal by the 25-minute mark.
